October 28, 19921992 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 201
Summary
The Court held that Article 37.07(3)(a) does not permit admission of unadjudicated extraneous offense evidence in the punishment phase of non‑capital trials; the trial courts abused discretion in admitting such evidence. It affirmed the Dallas Court of Appeals' decision in Grunsfeld and reversed the Fort Worth Court of Appeals' decision in Hunter, remanding both cases for new punishment hearings.
